Cyprus attracts cultural tourists
Cyprus attracts many foreign tourists due to its diverse range of attractions. Gulf Weekly has reported recently that Cyprus offers many attractive attributes including good food, culture, history and architecture.
Cyprus has traditionally been known for its mountain ranges, beaches and warm climate, the government is now launching promotional campaigns to draw attention to the island’s rich history and appeal to a wider range of visitors. The rich and captivating Cypriot culture and the genuine hospitality of its people has made Cyprus an ideal place for the discerning foreign tourists.
The Cyprus Association for Cultural & Special Interest Tourism (CSITA) is promoting the island’s unique cultural and special interest attractions. The government expects to attract tourists fascinated in its vast cultural diversity as Cyprus is lying on the crossroad right in between European, Asian and African continent. The impressive archaeological sites and historical monuments include Greco-Roman theatres, Gothic monuments, mountain castles of St. Hillarion, Greek Orthodox churches, cathedrals, Aphodite’s birthplace, tombs of the kings, mythological mosaics in Paphos and many more.
Property writer Kevin Moore has stated that tourism has opened up Cyprus property market as many of the overseas investors who are entering the market now were former tourists who had previously taken holidays on the island.
This comes after the news that Cyprus Tourism Organization (CTO) wanted to increase the number of foreign tourists in the country by ten per cent next year.
